Imagen - Pytorch

Implementation of Imagen, Google's Text-to-Image Neural Network that beats DALL-E2, in Pytorch. It is the new SOTA for text-to-image synthesis.

Architecturally, it is actually much simpler than DALL-E2. It consists of a cascading DDPM conditioned on text embeddings from a large pretrained T5 model (attention network). It also contains dynamic clipping for improved classifier free guidance, noise level conditioning, and a memory efficient unet design.

It appears neither CLIP nor prior network is needed after all. And so research continues.

Usage

import torch
from imagen_pytorch import Unet, Imagen

# unet for imagen

unet1 = Unet(
    dim = 32,
    cond_dim = 512,
    dim_mults = (1, 2, 4, 8),
    num_resnet_blocks = 3,
    layer_attns = (False, True, True, True),
    layer_cross_attns = (False, True, True, True)
)

unet2 = Unet(
    dim = 32,
    cond_dim = 512,
    dim_mults = (1, 2, 4, 8),
    num_resnet_blocks = (2, 4, 8, 8),
    layer_attns = (False, False, False, True),
    layer_cross_attns = (False, False, False, True)
)

# imagen, which contains the unets above (base unet and super resoluting ones)

imagen = Imagen(
    unets = (unet1, unet2),
    image_sizes = (64, 256),
    timesteps = 1000,
    cond_drop_prob = 0.1
).cuda()

# mock images (get a lot of this) and text encodings from large T5

text_embeds = torch.randn(4, 256, 768).cuda()
images = torch.randn(4, 3, 256, 256).cuda()

# feed images into imagen, training each unet in the cascade

for i in (1, 2):
    loss = imagen(images, text_embeds = text_embeds, unet_number = i)
    loss.backward()

# do the above for many many many many steps
# now you can sample an image based on the text embeddings from the cascading ddpm

images = imagen.sample(texts = [
    'a whale breaching from afar',
    'young girl blowing out candles on her birthday cake',
    'fireworks with blue and green sparkles'
], cond_scale = 3.)

images.shape # (3, 3, 256, 256)

For simpler training, you can directly supply text strings instead of precomputing text encodings. (Although for scaling purposes, you will definitely want to precompute the textual embeddings + mask)

The number of textual captions must match the batch size of the images if you go this route.

# mock images and text (get a lot of this)

texts = [
    'a child screaming at finding a worm within a half-eaten apple',
    'lizard running across the desert on two feet',
    'waking up to a psychedelic landscape',
    'seashells sparkling in the shallow waters'
]

images = torch.randn(4, 3, 256, 256).cuda()

# feed images into imagen, training each unet in the cascade

for i in (1, 2):
    loss = imagen(images, texts = texts, unet_number = i)
    loss.backward()

With the ImagenTrainer wrapper class, the exponential moving averages for all of the U-nets in the cascading DDPM will be automatically taken care of when calling update

import torch
from imagen_pytorch import Unet, Imagen, ImagenTrainer

# unet for imagen

unet1 = Unet(
    dim = 32,
    cond_dim = 512,
    dim_mults = (1, 2, 4, 8),
    num_resnet_blocks = 3,
    layer_attns = (False, True, True, True),
)

unet2 = Unet(
    dim = 32,
    cond_dim = 512,
    dim_mults = (1, 2, 4, 8),
    num_resnet_blocks = (2, 4, 8, 8),
    layer_attns = (False, False, False, True),
    layer_cross_attns = (False, False, False, True)
)

# imagen, which contains the unets above (base unet and super resoluting ones)

imagen = Imagen(
    unets = (unet1, unet2),
    text_encoder_name = 't5-large',
    image_sizes = (64, 256),
    timesteps = 1000,
    cond_drop_prob = 0.1
).cuda()

# wrap imagen with the trainer class

trainer = ImagenTrainer(imagen)

# mock images (get a lot of this) and text encodings from large T5

text_embeds = torch.randn(64, 256, 1024).cuda()
images = torch.randn(64, 3, 256, 256).cuda()

# feed images into imagen, training each unet in the cascade

loss = trainer(
    images,
    text_embeds = text_embeds,
    unet_number = 1,            # training on unet number 1 in this example, but you will have to also save checkpoints and then reload and continue training on unet number 2
    max_batch_size = 4          # auto divide the batch of 64 up into batch size of 4 and accumulate gradients, so it all fits in memory
)

trainer.update(unet_number = 1)

# do the above for many many many many steps
# now you can sample an image based on the text embeddings from the cascading ddpm

images = trainer.sample(texts = [
    'a puppy looking anxiously at a giant donut on the table',
    'the milky way galaxy in the style of monet'
], cond_scale = 3.)

images.shape # (2, 3, 256, 256)

You can also train Imagen without text (unconditional image generation) as follows

import torch
from imagen_pytorch import Unet, Imagen, SRUnet256, ImagenTrainer

# unets for unconditional imagen

unet1 = Unet(
    dim = 32,
    dim_mults = (1, 2, 4),
    num_resnet_blocks = 3,
    layer_attns = (False, True, True),
    layer_cross_attns = False,
    use_linear_attn = True
)

unet2 = SRUnet256(
    dim = 32,
    dim_mults = (1, 2, 4),
    num_resnet_blocks = (2, 4, 8),
    layer_attns = (False, False, True),
    layer_cross_attns = False
)

# imagen, which contains the unets above (base unet and super resoluting ones)

imagen = Imagen(
    condition_on_text = False,   # this must be set to False for unconditional Imagen
    unets = (unet1, unet2),
    image_sizes = (64, 128),
    timesteps = 1000
)

trainer = ImagenTrainer(imagen).cuda()

# now get a ton of images and feed it through the Imagen trainer

training_images = torch.randn(4, 3, 256, 256).cuda()

# train each unet separately
# in this example, only training on unet number 1

loss = trainer(training_images, unet_number = 1)
trainer.update(unet_number = 1)

# do the above for many many many many steps
# now you can sample images unconditionally from the cascading unet(s)

images = trainer.sample(batch_size = 16) # (16, 3, 128, 128)

Or train only super-resoluting unets

import torch
from imagen_pytorch import Unet, NullUnet, Imagen

# unet for imagen

unet1 = NullUnet()  # add a placeholder "null" unet for the base unet

unet2 = Unet(
    dim = 32,
    cond_dim = 512,
    dim_mults = (1, 2, 4, 8),
    num_resnet_blocks = (2, 4, 8, 8),
    layer_attns = (False, False, False, True),
    layer_cross_attns = (False, False, False, True)
)

# imagen, which contains the unets above (base unet and super resoluting ones)

imagen = Imagen(
    unets = (unet1, unet2),
    image_sizes = (64, 256),
    timesteps = 250,
    cond_drop_prob = 0.1
).cuda()

# mock images (get a lot of this) and text encodings from large T5

text_embeds = torch.randn(4, 256, 768).cuda()
images = torch.randn(4, 3, 256, 256).cuda()

# feed images into imagen, training each unet in the cascade

loss = imagen(images, text_embeds = text_embeds, unet_number = 2)
loss.backward()

# do the above for many many many many steps
# now you can sample an image based on the text embeddings as well as low resolution images

lowres_images = torch.randn(3, 3, 64, 64).cuda()  # starting un-resoluted images

images = imagen.sample(
    texts = [
        'a whale breaching from afar',
        'young girl blowing out candles on her birthday cake',
        'fireworks with blue and green sparkles'
    ],
    start_at_unet_number = 2,              # start at unet number 2
    start_image_or_video = lowres_images,  # pass in low resolution images to be resoluted
    cond_scale = 3.)

images.shape # (3, 3, 256, 256)

At any time you can save and load the trainer and all associated states with the save and load methods. It is recommended you use these methods instead of manually saving with a state_dict call, as there are some device memory management being done underneath the hood within the trainer.

ex.

trainer.save('./path/to/checkpoint.pt')

trainer.load('./path/to/checkpoint.pt')

trainer.steps # (2,) step number for each of the unets, in this case 2

Dataloader

You can also rely on the ImagenTrainer to automatically train off DataLoader instances. You simply have to craft your DataLoader to return either images (for unconditional case), or of ('images', 'text_embeds') for text-guided generation.

ex. unconditional training

from imagen_pytorch import Unet, Imagen, ImagenTrainer
from imagen_pytorch.data import Dataset

# unets for unconditional imagen

unet = Unet(
    dim = 32,
    dim_mults = (1, 2, 4, 8),
    num_resnet_blocks = 1,
    layer_attns = (False, False, False, True),
    layer_cross_attns = False
)

# imagen, which contains the unet above

imagen = Imagen(
    condition_on_text = False,  # this must be set to False for unconditional Imagen
    unets = unet,
    image_sizes = 128,
    timesteps = 1000
)

trainer = ImagenTrainer(
    imagen = imagen,
    split_valid_from_train = True # whether to split the validation dataset from the training
).cuda()

# instantiate your dataloader, which returns the necessary inputs to the DDPM as tuple in the order of images, text embeddings, then text masks. in this case, only images is returned as it is unconditional training

dataset = Dataset('/path/to/training/images', image_size = 128)

trainer.add_train_dataset(dataset, batch_size = 16)

# working training loop

for i in range(200000):
    loss = trainer.train_step(unet_number = 1, max_batch_size = 4)
    print(f'loss: {loss}')

    if not (i % 50):
        valid_loss = trainer.valid_step(unet_number = 1, max_batch_size = 4)
        print(f'valid loss: {valid_loss}')

    if not (i % 100) and trainer.is_main: # is_main makes sure this can run in distributed
        images = trainer.sample(batch_size = 1, return_pil_images = True) # returns List[Image]
        images[0].save(f'./sample-{i // 100}.png')

Multi GPU

Thanks to 🤗 Accelerate, you can do multi GPU training easily with two steps.

First you need to invoke accelerate config in the same directory as your training script (say it is named train.py)

$ accelerate config

Next, instead of calling python train.py as you would for single GPU, you would use the accelerate CLI as so

$ accelerate launch train.py

That's it!

Command-line

Imagen can also be used via CLI directly.

Configuration

ex.

$ imagen config

$ imagen config --path ./configs/config.json

In the config you are able to change settings for the trainer, dataset and the imagen config.

The Imagen config parameters can be found here

The Elucidated Imagen config parameters can be found here

The Imagen Trainer config parameters can be found here

For the dataset parameters all dataloader parameters can be used.

Training

This command allows you to train or resume training your model

ex.

$ imagen train

$ imagen train --unet 2 --epoches 10

You can pass following arguments to the training command.

--config specify the config file to use for training [default: ./imagen_config.json]
--unet the index of the unet to train [default: 1]
--epoches how many epoches to train for [default: 50]

Sampling

Be aware when sampling your checkpoint should have trained all unets to get a usable result.

ex.

$ imagen sample --model ./path/to/model/checkpoint.pt "a squirrel raiding the birdfeeder"
# image is saved to ./a_squirrel_raiding_the_birdfeeder.png

You can pass following arguments to the sample command.

--model specify the model file to use for sampling
--cond_scale conditioning scale (classifier free guidance) in decoder
--load_ema load EMA version of unets if available

In order to use a saved checkpoint with this feature, you either must instantiate your Imagen instance using the config classes, ImagenConfig and ElucidatedImagenConfig or create a checkpoint via the CLI directly

For proper training, you'll likely want to setup config-driven training anyways.

ex.

import torch
from imagen_pytorch import ImagenConfig, ElucidatedImagenConfig, ImagenTrainer

# in this example, using elucidated imagen

imagen = ElucidatedImagenConfig(
    unets = [
        dict(dim = 32, dim_mults = (1, 2, 4, 8)),
        dict(dim = 32, dim_mults = (1, 2, 4, 8))
    ],
    image_sizes = (64, 128),
    cond_drop_prob = 0.5,
    num_sample_steps = 32
).create()

trainer = ImagenTrainer(imagen)

# do your training ...

# then save it
